Explorer in the Air Service

Explorer in the Air Service, published in 1920 by Hiram Bingham, recounts his experiences as an aviator during World War I. After gaining fame for discovering Machu Picchu in 1911, Bingham organized the United States Schools of Military Aeronautics and commanded a primary Air Service flying school in France. This book details his wartime experiences and his advocacy for the Air Service's independence from the Army, reflecting the evolution of military aviation during that era.
